Re: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Lock All The Doors is classic Oasis, the rest of the album is a much happier and mellower Noel Gallagher and I'm liking it. But then again, I'm a much happier and mellower person these days. Glad to hear him expanding his sound with Spanish flairs of guitar and sax solos. Been on repeat all week. Been reading and watching a bunch of interviews too. Would have loved him on the Polo Fields again.

Other standout tracks.

In The Heat of The Moment (original and the remix on the deluxe version)
The Right Stuff
While the Song Remains the Same
You Know We Can't Go Back
Ballad of the Mighty I

Re: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

I could put any of the tracks on that list, but I love the entire album though.

I was thinking about Noel and Liam and the eventual Oasis reunion, and after watching a few interviews, I really think Noel wanted to headline Glastonbury on his own to kinda prove that he could do it without Liam. Seems like Glastonbury thought differently though. Liam seems like he's all on board for a reunion and I'm sure Noel will eventually agree after this tour but I doubt we'd be seeing anything until 2017.

“I tried to get him to play on the last album but it never happened,” says Gallagher. “So when I put this track together and knew he would be perfect for it I called him and asked if I could send him the rough mix. He said: ‘No, I
don’t want to hear it. I’m just going to react to it on the day.’ He didn’t even want any pointers. Well, that was brave of him. He just arrived with two guitars and a bag of effects pedals. And I have to say, he’s unbelievable. He’s way up
there, on another level to the rest of us. The result is a burst of energy that helped make Ballad Of The Mighty I one of the best songs I’ve ever written.”"

Re: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

X-Ray Eyes does sound like the Eagles, doesn't it? I seem to like it despite that. it feels a bit like it could have fit on Be Here Now.

I am giving the album another chance today but I find the whole thing a bit dull. I think I will be skipping the tour this time around. unless maybe he pulls out some really obscure Oasis stuff. RIP Oasis.

Re: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

That's a shame that you don't like it. I think it's his best work in over ten years. Maybe repeated listens will change your mind.

Re: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

He's not really known for mixing stuff up, though, is he? I'm digging the album and excited to see him up here in he Bay Area when he stops by. Got amazing seats again, 3rd row center, so it will be great no matter what.
